Hip Throws are often hard in Jiu Jitsu.
To execute a proper Hip Throw, you need hip connection first.

This is quite hard to achieve, given the fact that many BJJ Practicioners (at least on training and competition) prefer a bent over posture and often pull guard before a meaning full hip connection can be established.

Because of this, it is often hard to train hip throws. Much harder at least than the more common Wrestling Take Downs that work from Headcontrol and / or Single and Double Legs.

What I offer with this video, is a very functional, logical and systematic approach from the Body Lock position, resulting in a Hip Throw or Back Take.
I’m not going over ways to get to the Body Lock. This might be the topic of another video, in case there is demand for it.
One common scenarion to get there, is after you established an underhook from half guard bottom, managed to get to Dogfight and your opponent stands up.

This particular setup has been part of my game for many years. I hope it may help you out as well and give some incentive to train a very often underdeveloped part of many a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practicioner’s game.

Stay tuned for my upcoming video and article. I will cover The standing Back Take more in-depth!
